Considering the circumstances in which the term was originally coined
The Original lolcow is Chris Chan, who was baited dozens of times by trolls into doing ridiculous things on camera at 4chan in the /cow/ board.
Thus, the term lolcow.
Which means that people who find baiting “lolcows” funny are 4chan types by default. Therefore, unless the context tells me otherwise, just uttering the term is a ginormous red flag for me.

That also casts a doubt in your claim of the term coinage.
How? What is your line of reasoning here?
Now you suddenly care not only about the origin of the term, but about context also?
